ˈvekəns |
holiday - wait a minute, is this a french glossary - no… but it's the auld alliance, the name for when Scotland shared a mutual cultural and military alliance with France in opposition to England explains the language overlap I think, one benefit being the major import and drinking of wine and claret by various means (even into the time of Rabbie Burns (smuggling)) - (the alliance began in 1295 and only ceased (but was not revoked) when the Scottish king James VI became the king of England in 1603 (James I)). De Gaul said "In every combat where for five centuries the destiny of France was at stake, there were always men of Scotland to fight side by side with men of France, and what Frenchmen feel is that no people has ever been more generous than yours with its friendship." |
